Miami and the Southeast are on a weather rollercoaster this week, featuring partly cloudy skies, high temperatures, and incoming storms. As Miami enjoys relatively comfortable conditions, a cold front is set to bring thunderstorms and potential flooding in area. With the UV index hitting 11, it’s crucial to protect yourself from direct sunlight.
Showers are moving off the west coast of Florida near Tampa and Miami, gently clearing as they head out to sea. A few spotty rain showers can be seen along the Gulf Coast near New Orleans and Houston. Meanwhile, the rest of the Southeast, including cities like Atlanta, Charlotte, and Jackson, enjoys clear skies with expanding sunshine.
